I was a Paracast lurker until I started getting the begging emails. I didn't know about any of the shenanigans going on and figured it was spam, but a Google search eventually led me to this thread, so I joined this site instead. Silver lining for me, I guess.
I think most of us have had a similar journey. I believed Gene and tried to help him out. Over time it became more and more suspicious to me. Then when Chris O'Brien left I found the UFOtrail posts and this forum. Gene likes to pretend that there is a "hate" campaign against him what he never mentions is that those people who are trying to expose his actions are former listeners and donors who are trying to protect others. Just because we were conned doesn't mean others have to be. This kind of behaviour causes actual harm to people, diverts funds from real good causes, both directly and by making people more suspicious of them and also tarnishes the already ridicule prone image of the paranormal community.
